Free UK broadcast TV TVcatchup

[turgid]

I've sure this wont last long  but a site called tvcatchup.com  is currently streaming live UK main free to air channels (BBC, ITV, C4, C5  and some odd things like QVC).

There is no catchup service so its an odd name.

It doesnt seem to be geolocation restricted. Ive tested on AIS fibre and dtac mobile.

Doesnt work on my Samsung smart TV browser  for some reason but works oK on Windows, LG TV, Samsung Phone  and my QNAP media server.

Was trialling VPNs this week and found this to work without a VPN being required.

Seems to work (only tried a couple of channels for short time) ok with ToT ADSL and Firefox browser.

A much better alternative is teatime.tv, more channels,works very good

and at the moment free,does not need VPN, in fact wont work if you use

VPN.

Maybe its my Cretinous Cretaceous  Win XP  I'll try with Debian Jessie AMD64..soon--ish

Rather strange. Works for me on pc with windows 10, and also on android.

 

Have you tried different web browsers on xp?

[johng]

Well it seems its not XP related as I just tried both tvcatchup.com and teatimetv.to   with  Iceweasel on Debian 8.3 and get the same no source found error.

 

On XP I also tried Internet explorer ( same error)  and Opera which wouldn't connect at all,   tried changing user agent to android ,samsung and something else

with no luck....... but works fine with Firefox on my Android phone going via wifi through the same router and ISP very strange indeed !!

[userabcd]

Have you tried the normal firefox and chrome browsers?

[johng]

ok finally  with firefox 52.5.2esr   Debian 8.3 success !!   what a palaver

And also tvcatchup.com  works too

Glad to see it works, enjoy.
